Sorry for the hiatus of this blog...there are a few reasons:
1. The reason i started this blog was to get myself up and motivated to document my artwork...
2. I was struggling with the way i was going to use this blog as an artist...Should i just post art info, pictures and shows? Or should i go with the flow of my nature and use it on a more personal level to include info or musings that are important to me and really tell you who I am as person and an artist?
3. I have been struggling with where I am as an artist... i am not satisfied with my progress, and have been searching for inspiration and gumption to get up and go...
so, i have decided that instead of strugling with the concept of this blog...i am going to approach this from the angle that feels the most comfortable to me....more real....
As an art lover, what really makes it for me, in appreciating other people's work, not only is their skill, but understanding the story behind their work...knowing a little bit about their lives...and the story of their paths....
It is a big reason why i like artists like: Warhol, Rauschenburg, Joseph Cornell, Rothko, O'Keefe.... just to name a very few.....
While all are highly regarded in their own right....the reason I have grown to adore them, and so many other, is because of reading, scouring and consuming as much info about them as i can get my hands on....now having said that....i cannot say i retained all that info by any means...but, bits and pieces have stuck with me...and it is those bits and pieces that make them real to me...and appreciate works i might not have appreciated before...understanding the way other people saw them and their interactions with them, makes them real...and leads me to feel like I am not so alone in my desire to create...
having said that.....I am hoping to make this art blog more personal...while containing relavent peices, works in progress, information about shows i am pursuing, etc....and i hope that you are interested, and keep coming back.....
keep up with me....I have big plans....
